So you guys actually 'cruise' at your cruise nights.I'd rather do that than just sit in a lawn chair.We have 'car shows' and 'cruise-ins' and 'cruise nites'.No actual 'cruising' takes place though.Doesn't make sense to me to use the word 'cruise' when all the cars are parked.

Reminds me of the old question; "Why do we drive on parkways and park in driveways?"

Hi Svante,

Good to hear from you! I'm impressed with the amount of fun you're having over there, and with the quality of the cars!

All the Best,
Bob

There is some seriously nice American Iron at that meet. Amazing, considering that the show is in Sweden.

Yes,we do almost every town in Sweden has its own Cruising day generally the week ends.They divert the lokal traffic around so we got the centerstrip for ourself combine with feast activities as dressed as the 50`s and the 60`s,markets with spareparts and food and beertents,usually packed with people. We do park for a while so lokals can inspect our work, and often we get Prices for work so called Peoples choise and more. I got 1 Price at Pontiac all day in Stockholm. You can browse around and look for more cruisings in Sweden by looking on a map of Sweden and pick out any town name and search on U-tube, for example Falun Cruising 2009. Watch and enjoy. Thanks for all the positive feedback boys,going out with her today 7c+ sunny outside no white sc-t. Svante 400

Svante, amazing how many Muscle cars hide in Europe..I say hide, 'cuz every time I'm there, they're nowhere in site...:-) Glad you are also driving them up until the first snowflake comes down...Hope you get a few more weeks of decent fall weather...Remember to keep the top down (even if you have to put the heater full blast!)...LOL!

Was many times there (but not in the last 5 years)...mostly France, Holland, Switzerland, or Belgium, as I have friends/family there...I was supposed to go to Sweden for work to visit my customer, Ericsson, but never had the chance since...Thanx for the invite...I will keep it in mind once I convince the family to visit Sweden for its beautiful landscape...

Frame on resto, by yours truly. My first muscle car and resto. She was in really bad shape, only thing saved from the body panels is the deck lid... Thank you for the kind words. That pic in the sig is just a crappy cell pic. Everyone thinks its a red color in pics but its a burned orange rust color.

What size wheels did you go with? I want to go 17 or 18 torq trust II and drop the stance a bit, but undecided.

HI Dominic, I have TT II 15/8 on rear and 15/7 in front with 255/60SR15 tires rear and 215/60SR15 on front. Very nice work considering all the metal work you done,must have been a heavy task in the beginning, but look att her now there is the reward+ from the neckturners comments when you slowly OR fast driving bye.Svante 400.
